“Quantum” Therapy Robot Draws Online Skepticism After Hangzhou Expo Showing

What happened

It has been reported that a humanoid device billed as a “human-shaped therapeutic quantum robot” surfaced at an intelligence expo held March 11–13 at the Hangzhou International Expo Center and immediately drew widespread ridicule online for its scientific claims. The machine was exhibited by Everlasting Space AI Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (永生时空人工智能科技（北京）有限公司), whose founder and actual controller is named Zheng Kuifei (郑奎飞). According to social-media posts and an Ifeng report, the device was promoted using terms such as “quantum technology,” “neutrinos,” and “magnetized cells” to promise therapeutic and even body-repairing effects — assertions that many observers said flatly contradict basic scientific knowledge.

Claims, company response and past regulatory action

Reportedly, a company staffer told journalists the product is still undergoing medical-device application procedures and therefore can only be described publicly as “therapy,” not “treatment.” When pressed about mechanisms, the staffer allegedly offered an extraordinary explanation: the robot houses a “neutrino mother disk” that, through a handshake, magnetizes the body’s energy field to expel harmful substances. The same staffer defended the technology as globally unique and pointed readers to the company’s public account videos. It has been reported that the firm was previously fined 150,000 yuan (about $20–22k) for using medical terminology and claiming disease-treatment functions in non-medical-device advertisements, and the Ifeng item reproduces the platform’s usual user-content disclaimer.

Why it matters

Beyond the immediate oddity and online mockery, the episode highlights a bigger problem in China’s fast-moving tech showrooms: the fusion of buzzwords like “AI” and “quantum” with health claims can mislead consumers and draw regulatory scrutiny. Regulators in China have been increasingly active in policing false medical advertising and exaggerated tech claims; that matters to investors and overseas partners evaluating Chinese startups’ credibility. Should a handshake really reorganize your cells? Scientific literacy, clear regulations and human oversight remain the best defenses against dubious “miracle” technologies — whether marketed at a local expo or online to a global audience.
